HOW DOES THE SWIPE & SAVE DINING PLAN WORK?

Swipe & Save Plans are operated on a declining balance system where funds are added to your Swipe & Save card.

Dining Dollars are tax exempt dollars included in the Annual or Semester Dining Plan. No tax is charged on food and beverage purchases when you dine in Chartwells food outlets on campus. Dining Dollars do expire when the plan expires.

Swipe & Save Dollars are the dollars loaded on your card and tax is applied to all purchases when you dine in Chartwells food outlets on campus. Swipe & Save Dollars don’t expire.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT PLAN IS BEST FOR ME?

We provide several options to accommodate various life-style and usage needs. If you are going to eat two meals a day on campus you should consider an annual or semester plan and make your money go farther by saving 13% taxes. These are the best value plans.

The Swipe & Save Reloadable Plan allows you the flexibility to load an amount that makes the most sense for your dining needs and budget. Start low and add as you go or load with an annual budget in mind. Just a coffee drinker with a few snacks here and there consider loading $300 a semester. If you want a few meals and snacks during the week consider loading $500 a semester.
